From the Pāli (Bodhi 2012)Summary
The Buddha is residing in Jeta Grove in Sravasti when a monk, contemplating the causes of worldly attachment and suffering, seeks guidance. The Buddha explains that the mind is the cause of attachment, suffering, and subsequent cycles of existence, and that a liberated disciple (Arhat) can control their mind. Further dialogue clarifies what constitutes a learned monk, a monk with quick wisdom, and a monk with clever and swift understanding, emphasizing truthful knowledge of suffering and acting with compassion to benefit others.
